Comaprison of Joan displays vs. conventional LCDs for digital signage

Joan’s e-paper displays provide an alternative solution in scenarios where conventional LCD screens may not be suitable.

 

Key Considerations: Joan Displays and LCDs

Energy Efficiency

Joan displays utilize E-ink technology, which consumes power primarily when updating content. Once an image is shown, energy use remains minimal, making these displays significantly more power-efficient than many traditional LCD options. This efficiency can support extended battery operation, often lasting several months on a single charge.

Visual Comfort & Light Management

With a display quality that closely resembles paper, Joan displays may be easier on the eyes than backlit LCD screens. As E-ink displays do not emit their own light, they help limit light pollution in shared spaces.

Durability & Installation Flexibility

Joan displays are designed using recyclable materials, including aluminum and glass, and feature a slim profile. Their low power requirements and wireless capabilities enable installation in a variety of spaces, even where wired infrastructure is not available.

Real-time video and rich media

E-ink displays are not optimized for presenting full-color graphics or playing video content, as their color range and refresh rates are more limited. For use cases that require vibrant imagery or dynamic multimedia—such as real-time video or richly colored presentations—LCD screens generally provide a more suitable solution.
